Hair Extensions are either made with both synthetic hair or natural human hair.

Synthetic hair doesn’t look very natural yet if it is of a good quality fiber then it does create the illusion of the desired look without looking trashy. The important thing for synthetic hair extensions is to know the quality level and care for it accordingly. For instance, if it is not a very expensive quality then it is recommended not to use heating products like blow dryers or flat irons because it will damage the fibers. Some synthetic fibers such as mono-fiberss and thermofibers are strong enough styling with heat but without overheating.

The application and color choice of the hair extension has the utmost importance. Extensions that are applied roughly will look artificial and ruin your look. If you want to apply extensions at home then it is best to opt for clip extensions. Clip extensions are just great as long as the hair quality is good. Getting hair extensions braided or glued in is best done at a salon because it will be neat, stronger, and simply last longer. While hair extensions can be reused, as the hair grows out you have to reapply the extensions after approximately 4-6 months depending on hair growth rates.
